Variant of Chain Chomp

Stone Chomps are variants of Chomp resembling living Chomp Rocks that live within the borders of Dry Dry Ruins in Paper Mario. They guard artifacts within the temple; when Mario takes an artifact, they surprise him by falling off the ceiling or jumping out of a wall design and then attacking him. Stone Chomps may also appear, albeit rarely, when Mario breaks a Stone Block blocking the way to an artifact. In battle, they act as a weaker version of the normal Chomps that assist Tutankoopa; specifically, they have a lower defensive power.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Red Chomp is given a similar role as a weaker counterpart to normal Chain Chomps.

Tattle This is a Stone Chomp, who guards the treasure in this room. He's made of stone. Duh! Max HP: 4, Attack Power: 3, Defense Power: 1 His jaws can supposedly crush a Coconut. I don't know about you, but I don't want to become a snack.
  • Player's Guide: According to Goombario, the mighty jaws of a Stone Chomp can crush a coconut. And since pudgy Mario is much softer than a coconut, you'll want to dispose of the treasure-guarding baddie with due haste.[1]
